Slow down. Get your hands muddy. Make a mug that is truly yours.
In this relaxed, beginner-friendly workshop you’ll hand-build a ceramic mug using traditional slabbing techniques, shaping it from a simple lump of white clay into a functional, one-of-a-kind cup. Once your form is finished, you’ll decorate your mug using underglaze colours, marks, patterns or illustrations — bold or subtle and joyfully unique, it’s entirely up to you.
No experience needed. This is about process, play, and the quiet satisfaction of making something useful with your hands.
– All clay, tools and materials
– Step-by-step guidance throughout
– One handmade mug per person
– Decoration with underglaze colours
– Bisque and glaze firing
– Clear glaze finish
– Your finished mug ready to collect in approx 4-6 weeks
– Learn slabbing techniques
– Shape and refine your mug form
– Add handles and details
– Decorate with underglaze colour and texture
– Leave the firing to us
Duration: approx. 2 hours
Level: Absolute beginners welcome
Age: Suitable for adults and older children who can happily sit and focus for two hours
Class size: Groups of up to 10 for a calm, hands-on experience
Your mug will be fired and glazed by us after the session and will be food-safe and made to be used every day — tea tastes better from something you’ve made yourself.
Perfect as a treat for yourself, a thoughtful gift, or a creative afternoon by the sea.
